Copper color. Very nice aroma (malt and some fine hop). Quite dry, with a strong hoppy character (old hops) on top of a nice malty line.

Very lively ascent to fluffy yellow head; foxy amber, clear beer. Extremely fruity nose: grapes, lunaria, peach, lime and - absolutely - nutmeg or mace. Again very fruity in taste, estery, yeasty, meat-aspic, passionfruit. There is some salt and a lot of coriander. Medium-bodied. Strange sensation, water, but at the same time probably iron and other salts. Oh dear; Saison Regal was once the pride of Brasserie de la Tour, Marbaix-la-Tour. Du Bocq took over and closed. First they managed to rape the beer completely, than they somehow got remorse (?) and turned it round again. This sample is quite OK; but a lot is going on in this bottle. It might turn out bad - I'm not surprised raters are hugely different in appreciation of this.

Clear, amber body. Brownish, fizzy rocky head, mostly lasting and fairly lacing. Hoppy and yeasty aroma. Lightly bitter initial flavour, moderately bitter and slightly salty finish. Soft mouthfeel.

Hazy orange color, medium frothy head. Aroma is sweet, yeasty and fruity, bit hoppy. Taste is sweet bitter and sour alltogether, sticky palate. Nice beer.

Nice head on a orange-brown beer, citrusy aroma (peaches,roses ?), but a bit anonymous taste.

Dryish , yeasty character. Restrained example..............................
